Tiny holes in the bones indicate that they passed through a large bird’s digestive system, according to Professor Pawel Valde-Nowak of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. It’s not clear, however, whether the bird attacked and ate the young Neanderthal or scavenged the remains of a dead child.

Believed to be about 115,000 years old, the bones are the oldest human remains ever discovered in Poland.

Experts from the Jagiellonian University and Washington University in St. Louis confirmed that the remains are digital bones from a child’s hand.

The Archaeological Museum of Krakow and the Polish Academy of Sciences also participated in the research, which will be published in the Journal of Paleolithic Archaeology.

The closest human species to homo sapiens, Neanderthals lived in Eurasia for around 350,000 years. Scientists in Poland report that Neanderthals in Europe mostly became extinct 35,000 years ago. However, there are a number of theories on the timing of Neanderthals’ extinction, with experts saying that it could have occurred 40,000, 27,000 or 24,000 years ago.

Why was the alligator on vacation? Inquiring minds want to know.

I’m pretty sure the giant man eating bird wasn’t a member of Planned Parenthood, Captain Off-topic

I’ve seen groups of ravens reduce a dead longhorn (1700 lbs) to bones given enough time.

Scientists in Poland report that Neanderthals in Europe mostly became extinct 35,000 years ago.

The Neanderthals in Europe now, are looking to become extinct again, on the hands of the invading Muslims.

[Salvavida]

Because everyone deserves a vacation. Geesh.

[JoeFromSidney]

Because they indicate that the bones were attacked by the digestive fluids in the bird's stomach.

Thank you. Interesting.

[robowombat]

The alligator was vacationing?

[Salvavida]

Unless he was a paid Disney employee, he’d have to be.
